The No. 3 Kansas Jayhawks began Big 12 play with a 60-53 victory over the No. 16 West Virginia Mountaineers at Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday afternoon.
The Mountaineers led by as many as 10 points, including a 30-24 halftime lead despite being held scoreless for the final three minutes of the first half, but Kansas surged once the second-half whistle blew.
Jayhawks junior center Udoka Azubuike had just six points in the first 20 minutes before leading KU's comeback effort by notching his fifth double-double of the season. Azubuike and sophomore guard Devon Dotson combined for 33 of Kansas' 60 points.
